NO NEED TO READ USER DIRECTIONS. JUST PLAY W/ VARIOUS OPTIONS TO SEE LISTING FOR RESTAURANTS, HISTORICAL SITES, ETC. FYI: IF YOU SELECT ALL RESTAURANTS, YOU WILL ONLY RECEIVE SOME RESTAURANTS IN AREA. TO GET FULL INFO, SELECT SPECIFIC FARE SUCH AS AMERICAN, SEAFOOD, ETC. ALSO, HEED WARNING OF OTHER USERS. DO NOT SET YOUR HOME ADDRESS ON GPS UNIT. SET NEARBY AREA SUCH AS SCHOOL OR GROCERY STORE. THIS PROTECTS YOU IF YOUR CAR IS STOLEN.Great GPS
I am very pleased with my GPS. Amazon sent it too me is excellent time. It works wonderfully.Garmin 260W
Finds satellites fast, I like the feature that it annoucnes street names. Sometimes doesn't plot the best route. I would like a route review feature prior to driving. But works great.Works great but no routing
Product works great. Compared to a Magellan which my friend bought for $60 less it simply is a better product in terms of usability. Magellan has a lot of bells and whistles but it's cumbersome and slow. At the end of the day you need one that recalculates fast, easy to use, has a lot of points of interests and gets you there with simple visual and voice instructions. Reason I gave it 4 stars is it doesn't have routing capabilities and only has one waypoint. The more expensive models have these.Some short comings of Nuvi GPS system...
There are so many 5 star ratings and articles on nuvi that I decided just to focus on a few things that I found were annoying to me... Item 3 also has shaken my confidence in its ability to avoid unpaved roads... 1) Nuvi always shows the the time when you would reach the destination. If you are crossing the time zone, this could be annoying. Better would be if it only shows the "Miles to reach the destination" or "Time to reach the destination". There is no way you can get nuvi to show that. This feature is in Magellan, and very convenient and time zone proof. 2) The navigation method has choice of shortest time or shortest distance... Both of which are unpredictable if you are on the best route. Example, while driving from Mountain View, CA to Reno NV, while on I-680 it tried to take me to I-5/I-80 Via Stockton, rather than straight thru I-680/I-80,and saving around 30 miles. I had "shortest time" set. 3) Near Elko, NV, I took a diversion to Lamoille and mountains near by. I had set to avoid any unpaved road. while going up all went well, nice road to the top of the mountain. But while returning it took me thru a distance of about 40 miles on unpaved road to get me back on I-80, rather than quickly trying to retrace the paved road (NV-227, that it originally took to go in) back to I-80,about 15 miles. Now sure I could have turned around and gone back to right road like I did in (2) above, but I was always thinking that soon it will connect to paved road, which only happened, after about 40 miles.Keyword : nuvi
